SEACREST BLVD AND MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. BLVD
PROJECT SUMMARY
The City of Boynton Beach including the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) have planned and prepared preliminary design plans for a streetscape project which includes Seacrest Blvd. from South of Boynton Beach Blvd to north of NW 13th Ave. and Martin Luther King Blvd (MLK) from Seacrest Blvd to US-1. Improvements to the streetscape will increase safety, encourage redevelopment and improve the quality of life for neighborhood residents. Due to budget constraints the project has been divided into two phases.
Phase I consists of Seacrest Blvd which is a Palm Beach County roadway and will be constructed first to include raised median sections, mill and resurface of road, landscaping, irrigation, street lighting, signing and pavement marking. Based on the availability of budget, this phase also includes providing final design plans for the second phase of the streetscape project which is described below. Construction for Phase I will also include a reclaimed (reuse) water line which will be used among other things to provide irrigation for the proposed landscaping.
Phase II consists of Martin Luther King Blvd (from Seacrest Blvd to US-1). Construction is to include mill and resurface pavement, reconstruct curb and sidewalk, landscaping, irrigation, street lighting, signing and pavement marking. Based on availability of funding and to meet the schedule for receiving federal stimulus funding, the second phase may not be bid or constructed with Phase I.
